I voted for judiciary voted by congress with term limits (and are eligible for multiple terms). Judges can be impeached and removed from the bench, BTW.A judges job is interpretation, because a) you will never get a complete agreement on either what words mean nor why people want a law in place to begin with, and b) times change. Laws must change with them.
As many judges are want to do, they 'bend' The Constitution with interpretations that are applicable to their political views. Instead of bending The Constitution, I assert amendments must be introduced that would more completely and concisely cover the topic at hand in The Constitution.
Sidenote: Many posters to this thread have stated they wouldn't want a judiciary that is beholden to the public by winning elections. How does the public make the judiciary beholden to The Constitution and not to political whims of the judiciary?
Second sidenote: The Constitution was first implemented with the average American in mind and with little federal government.
